About This Quote

When we read of the great Biblical leaders, we see that it was not uncommon for God to ask them to wait, not just a day or two, but for years, until God was ready for them to act. This means that even the most powerful and influential people in history had to endure long periods of waiting and praying and praying and praying and praying and praying and praying and praying and praying and praying and praying and praying and praying. If you think about it, you realize that this is absolutely absurd. How can one so called "great leader" endure such a long period of time where she must keep her eyes on God's clock as if He were the only one who could move it (and as if He was even awake)? I can't think of any way that this makes any sense whatsoever.
